My mystery lover

Chapter 277 The Will

Hilary saw a piece of paper falling from Grandma Eva and she went to pick it up. The paper was old. It

was faded as if it had existed for years.

Opening it, Hilary was shocked. She gave it to Jacob immediately.

"What is this?" Jacob took it and watched carefully. He was shocked, too. But he remained outwardly

composed. Other people were curious about what was on the paper. All stretched out their neck and

looked over Jacob's shoulder.

"Send the lawyer to me. This is Grandma Eva's will. Let the lawyer read it for us." Jacob called the

lawyer of HD Group to come over.

Soon, the lawyer arrived. He looked at the will and began to frown. Although he had some doubts, he

just read the will.

The will was mainly about the distribution of property. Grandma Eva transferred her 3% shares to

Jacob and gave all of her property to Addy to thank for her care and help.

Grandma Eva had 3% of the shares of HD Group, which was not a small amount of money. She gave it

all to Jacob and left nothing to William.

Grandpa had allocated the shares early in the past. Everyone in the family had access to the shares.

The only difference lied in the amount. Jacob had the most of the shares, which was 20% because he

needed to exercise the power of the executive chairman. Halbert had 10% of the shares, which was

distributed by his descendants after his death. Each of the rest people got 3%. Now, Jacob got

additional 1%. If it went on like that, he would get more and more shares, which would make the

situation awkward.

The will seemed genuine according to Grandma Eva's handwriting and her handprint. And the will was

made three years ago when she had only 3% of the shares. All of this added authenticity to the will.

"As an uneducated person, Grandma's thought to make will is so fashionable!" Hilary sneered. Her

instinct told her that this will was fake but she had no evidence to prove it. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"I don't know anything about it until today." Addy shook her hand in a haste and faked an honest and

simple look, attempting not to let anyone suspect her.

"We will act in terms of the will. That is the respect for the dead," said Jacob. He didn't care about that

money. He motioned to the lawyer to deal with this matter.

This year, the Carter family descended into chaos. At first, there were a lot of problems in the HD

Group. Then two people died during only three months. People in R City kept gossiping whether the

Carter family was doomed.

To fulfill Grandpa John's dying wish, Grandma Eva and he were not in one tomb. He wished he could

never stay with her. Therefore, one tomb was in the east while the other in the west and between them

lied the tomb of Halbert.

Looking at the three people, everyone was sad, especially Addy, who clung to the tombstone with a

piercing cry as if in the tomb was her own mother.

"Well, we will obey to the will," said Hilary in a black dress. She had enough of her hypocrisy. She also

bore extreme resentment towards Amy because everything went from bad to worse since she came

back. It was heard that Amy orchestrated all of these things. Why did she do that to them? Weren't they

her family?

Addy wept a few crocodile tears in order not to let them discard her. To be honest, Hilary was loath to

have any interaction with her. Jacob, however, was too soft to identify their trick.

Back from the graveyard, Hilary wanted to see Amy and asked why she treated the Carter family so

cruelly. It was said that Halbert's death was caused by Amy. From the time Hilary came back, she bore

a grudge against Amy.

"Where do you go?" asked Cathy. She didn't drive the car so she wanted her daughter to drive her

home.

"I will go to see Amy," said Hilary with a fierce look.

Seeing her daughter misunderstand Amy, she became anxious and jumped into her car.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Hilary was confused why her mother did that in such a hurry.

"You can't go to see Amy. I think there is someone doing mischief behind. It is impossible for Amy to

treat us so ruthlessly." As Cathy said these words, she held her daughter's hands tightly.

"Mom, can't you just be more sensible? The whole R City knows the murderer is Amy. There is nobody

who is more familiar with our family than her. I just want to ask why she hurts us so mercilessly!" Hilary

was completely misguided and could not analyze the situation correctly.

"Hilary, you have been acquainted with Amy for such a long time. You must be clear what kind of

person she is. How can you misunderstand her like others," snapped Cathy. She firmly believed in

Amy.

"Mom, nothing remains the same. How do we explain that she has been missing for five years and

misfortunes rained heavily on our family as soon as she came back? Why does all the evidence prove

her guilty?" Hilary thought her mother was cheated by Amy.

"Anyway I trust her. You cannot go to bother her. If you insist on regarding her as an enemy, don't call

me mom again. " Cathy got off, assuming a sulky air.

Seeing her mother got angry, she decided not to go today. She knew there were plenty of chances in

the future.

"Fine, I won't do that anymore. Get in the car, please." Hilary opened the door and let her mother come

in.

She sent her mother back to the Carter's mansion and followed her into it. And then she saw Addy was

packing.

"Cathy, Hilary, I'll leave after finishing packing. Richard has bought me a house, which is not far from

here. If Hilary wants to eat something, just tell me and I'll come over to make it for you" smiled Addy.

Her smile was innocent and her chubby cheeks showed a touch of amiability.

"OK." Hilary took no notice of her. Cathy, however, could not bear to see her leaving.

"Take care of yourself. Don't live a frugal life. Richard will give the money to you." said Cathy. This was

the first time she had talked to Addy for so long.
